Mama’s Deviled Eggs with a Parmesan Crisp

My mother is a CLASSIC never measure cook. My grandmother is just as bad about it. It drives me insane. I understand it, I really do. When I am not cooking for the blog, I don’t measure either. But for me to share recipes with all of you, I can’t just say…a little of this and a handful of that.

When I ask my Mom to give me the recipes to my favorite dishes/desserts, she can only sort of give them to me. She can tell me the ingredients and general idea, but quantities are non-existent. I have to watch her make them instead and measure out behind her. It’s the only way I get any family recipes!

However, I always ate my weight in these deviled eggs. I usually ended up eating half of the deviled eggs off the tray before dinner even started.

To be fair, my Mom never did a parmesan crisp on top. But, seriously, you NEED a parmesan crisp on top! They only take 10 minutes to make and they have so much flavor and add an awesome crispy element. You can skip it if you insist, but you’re gonna love it.

If you are looking for the best ever deviled eggs, these are them. I swear.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.

In a small bowl, toss together parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Place 1 tablespoon of cheese on baking sheet and pat down into a flat layer. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the cheese about a 1/2 inch apart.

Bake for 6 minutes – until golden (the centers might not be golden, but the edges will be). Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes. They will crisp up once cool.

The parmesan crisp on top sounds GREAT! These eggs look super tasty!

These look fabulous! Love the parmesan crisp on top!

Before I started my blog I never measured. Now I not only measure but I have to write it down as I go, because I will forget by the time I am ready to share. My mother always made deviled eggs and I love them. Can’t wait to try your mom’s version.

I made these today for my family’s easter and I had to come back and comment right away. These are the BEST deviled eggs EVER. Thank you so much!

I actually made these a few days ago but I am a bit disappointed with myself because aesthetically, they look nothing like yours. However , they sure were delicious so I guess I could live with that :). Your daughters are way to adorable btw!

I can not believe how yummy this is! I couldn’t stop eating it out of my plate! Thank you so much – I look forward to eating this all hours – amazing!

I love deviled eggs. They were one of my favorite appetizers growing up. I never tried them with the parmesan crisp, but I am excited to give it a shot and see what my family thinks of them. They look absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to try them out.

We use dill relish, but I have also used sweet relish. Both are great in it, honestly, it is a personal preference thing.

How does the two sides stick back together?

For the eggs that look whole, did you just cut off the top of the egg & fill them or did you stick 2 halves back together? They look really nice that way. I’Lloyd have to try this recipe the next time I make Deviled Eggs.
